The boss walks in, there’s someone on the phone for you:
- Phone: “Hi, I’m the leader person behind that book/television/film franchise you complain about online and gee-whiz, you’re right! We want you to run things from here on out.”
- You: “Do I get supreme retcon powers?”
- Phone: “Of course! We’ll even retroactively edit in your changes!”
Huh, that was easy. What are you changing?
More The Expanse. More Chrisjen Avasarala. More!
Jar Jar is the sith lord as intended.
HBO can pump out a whole 'nother Game Of Thrones spin off that I couldn’t give a fuck about but they can’t reshoot the last 2 seasons and maybe add a few more to fix the fucking mess that we ended up with…
The Legend of Korra spoilers:
spoiler
Korra doesn’t stakelessly get her bending back 15 seconds after losing it to Amon. They had the opportunity to give her the self-discovery arc that they tried to shoehorn into the post-Zaheer poison recovery.
The series could’ve had much better footing, in my opinion, if Korra had wrestle with that just a bit longer. Instead, a bunch of bald people show up and say, “I got you, Holmes,” and then she’s good as new.
It’s been a while, and I’ve lost some of my steam over this. But yeah, that’s the only one I’ve got the energy to type out right now.
Completely jettison all of Star Trek Discovery and the Section 31 movie.
The Wheel of Time show… Change it to be like the books. I felt like the books read well and could have been adapted without changing much. Keep to the source material and embellish areas that weren’t as well discussed like east of the waste, the islands to the west, etc.
Immediately reshoot Season 8 of GOT with what I thought was going to happen.
We’re bringing back Sliders without a reboot.
It was the real Arturo that got left behind in “Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome”, and Remy ends up finding him again after his cliffhanger solo slide.
Working with Arturo, they manage to get a slidegate up and running to go back for the others. They also find a dying copy of Quinn along the way who has some valuable Kromagg info and end up merging him into Mallory like the accident that melded our Quinn into him, in a last-ditch effort to save him. The presence of this third Quinn, who is almost like the original, outweighs Mallory so we have Jerry O’Connell back in the cast.
The gang all back together, they go to deliver the Kromagg bio-weapon in Remy’s blood and succeed. It’s now slowly spreading across all worlds. But the Kromagg big bad they’re fighting during this process sets off some kind of nuke inside a slide-tunnel, destabilizing the entire thing and basically scrambling sliding across all worlds. Even if you knew how to precisely connect to a world before, it goes somewhere else now.
And now we’re back to the classic formula, we can do whatever we want from here.
Also we get Will Sasso to come back as hotelier Gomez Calhoun at least once a season.
The Last Jedi doesn’t happen the way it did. Instead, the moment on the island where Rey tries to hand Luke the lightsaber has him reject it in anger and anguish, afraid that the past he thought he had left far behind him has re-emerged. It does not get casually tossed off the cliff for a cheap giggle. The reasons for the rejection can be broadly the same, if necessary, but they can be shown in a less weird and melodramatic way.
In this new version, Finn gets something (anything) to do, ideally something that will bring he and Rey closer together by the end.
Poe does not play “Can you hear me now?” with Hux. There is no casino planet, no obvious double cross and no little moppets with magical broomsticks.
Luke does not die at the end. Leia dies at the 2/3s point, and it’s this that finally brings Luke back into the fold, perhaps to get revenge, perhaps to honour her dying wish, whatever.
Snoke is not discarded like a used tissue. Kylo and Rey still communicate psychically, but there’s no hint of romance. Instead he starts to tempt her towards the dark side, leveraging the pain she feels towards the parents who abandoned her.
I dunno, just something which follows on more naturally from TFA, which is darker, and which definitely is less silly than what we got.
The Rise of Skywalker is in many ways the same as in reality, but it’s Snoke and not the Emperor that’s the Big Bad (although maybe you get the Emperor involved as some sort of Force ghost mentor to Snoke, or whatever). It follows on much more naturally from TLJ, because it doesn’t have to spend the first 30 minutes doing major course corrections. Finn and Rey get together, only for one of them to be killed off… or were they?
Somehow, Snoke returned…
No need, he was just fine after my version of TLJ 😁
Somehow, Snoke is just fine
😁
Warhammer 40k, dumping at least half of pyrrhic shit and needless grimdark but also bringing back the old lore that humans caused chaos.
Isn’t Chaos a part of the universe just like space and time? Those Eldars, Necrons and old ones are basically the one that leave it chaotic and volatile way before human even comes into existence. True human is the dominant life form that’s feeding it, I don’t know when have it ever been human who created Chaos.
Old lore was that humans are responsible for the creation and empowerement of the chaos gods except slaanesh. And while it was never mentioned for ages in franchise at least the empowerment is certainly true since pre Horus Heresy the presence of chaos in the materium was so pitiful that 200 years of Great Crusade barely managed to discover anything substantial. Hell, Word Bearers actively searched for any chaos with dozens, maybe hundreds of fleets and only found it after years of searching. Also while you look at the manifestations of chaos there’s barely anything that can’t be traced to humanity, there’s much talk about chaotic xeno spiecies but their actual effects are always very local (except eldar and slaanesh).
I give Monolith Soft the funding and popularity needed to be able to create all 6 originally planned Xenosaga games instead of the 3 we got
Spider-man one more day. Just let aunt May die. Have Peter go to therapy or something for the grief, then years later do a reveal that it was Norman Osborne the entire time.
That time Janeway and Paris hit Warp 10 in Star Trek.
Such a cool concept ruined by such a stupid episode.
Also Trip doesn’t die.
Retconning basically every character death retcon they’ve made in Yakuza over the years, and making Pirates completely non-canon because what the fuck
Delete everything that happened in the Battletech lore for where the last civil war book ended. Then keep writing the civil war timeline so it’s actually finished instead of where it’s been left.
